Eight Months Old

If I could have just one wish...right about now I think it would be that the days would slow down. This time I have with you is just going by so fast. It feels like yesterday that I found out I was pregnant and the days flew by that you grew in my belly. It feels like a minutes ago that you arrived. You have changed so much and you are learning so many new things everyday it seems like.

Eli Shane you are Eight months old!!

The last month I feel you have grown leaps and bounds. You said your first word..and of course it was Da Da! He was very very happy though, to say the very least.

You have had some rough nights as far as sleep goes. But I think that your gums are bothering you and you just seem to want to be held.

 You are such a good little eater. You eat just about whatever we eat. You have lost almost complete interest in your baby food for the exception of the fruit. I absolutely can not get you to eat anything veggie in the baby food form. You would much rather it be something that you can pick up and eat yourself. So I have bought frozen small chopped veggies and you eat those, also I have cut up squash, sweet potatoes and green beans for you to eat.

You are still nursing but only about every 4 hours now you have even done a five hours stretch now and again. And you love apple juice and water. You really love to drink water out of a water bottle. I think you think that its fun. but you get so excited when you see someone drinking out of one.

You are so sweet when you wake up in the mornings, I usually just lay you on the bed next to me and you cuddle and give me kisses.

You LOVE to go swimming. You love it so much. I am so glad that you love the water.

I think that you are trying to wave bye bye, but we'll see...I am sure that it wont be long.

You pick up on things very fast.

You have been getting around very well. Still not walking but walking along things like the couch and whatever you can pull up on. You love to push things around, so Daddy and I bought a tractor for you to push around and you would rather push around one of your empty buckets or lids to something. Oh well!

We love you so much!
